He was last seen on foot near a wooded area near the the Maple Grove Mobile Home Park in [Mercer](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KudmWi4BPwUkW1Ru9) on October 22, 2023. Namrud left behind his vehicle and personal items. The father of two with a devoted faith-based lifestyle was taking a walk on a spiritual journey. Unfortunately we're going to have to rely on the more healthy of us to search that vast area there. The mobile home park doesn't even show up on my google maps, so you might want to coordinate with the sheriffs.

This one is kinda close to my heart not just because it's a sad story, but because I found the photograph in the newspaper. Back when NaMus used to have employees, they'd respond to you, get your additions put up, and were kind and encouraging. I miss that. He was out grouse hunting with his son and basically vanished. His son never got over it. He was last seen in the woods near the area of Military Road (FR 2199) about 0.45 miles north of Kentuck Lake Road (FR 2465) This can be difficult to find on a map - but it's within Nicollet National Forest. FR 2178 is an alternate name for Military Road and in some places its 2183. Other sources state it as [Kentuck Road &amp; Federal Forest Road 162 just north of State Highway 70.](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nHCdxUfjMnHgeGZw8)

Thompson went missing in Desoto. He has hitchhiked from Wisconsin to California and back several times. He has not been seen nor heard from since. They found some items of his clothing Ed Brown’s house of De Soto. Sheriffs thought it likely hunters would find him.

Trabert was last seen in Wauwatosa on April 9, 1992. He lived on Swan Boulevard. His wife was visiting friends that morning, and when she came home, she found a goodbye note from her husband; he wrote, "I think the best birthday present I can give you is to disappear." He left all his medications behind at home, as well as his eyeglasses.  
  
A bus driver recalled picking up a man matching Trabert's description near his home that morning, but didn't remember when the passenger got off. Trabert's family doesn't think he would have ridden on a bus or train for very long, because his back and leg problems made it uncomfortable to sit for an extended time period. An extensive search of the area turned up no indication of his whereabouts.  
  
Trabert is a World War II veteran who injured his back while serving in the Army. He was declared legally dead in 1999, and his wife died about a year later. His case remains unsolved.

#### <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">Actions</span>

We need to learn the bus route.
